a.

Summary Introduction

To calculate: The allele frequencies for each population and determine whether the population is currently at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Introduction: The allele that is located at a particular locus in a population, its relative frequency value is calculated as a fraction, this frequency is known as allele frequency.

b.

Summary Introduction

To explain: Whether there is an excess of homozygous or heterozygous genotypes, for the populations which are not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Introduction: Homozygous genotypes are those genotypes which carry the same type of alleles. If both the alleles are recessive, the genotype is said to be homozygous recessive otherwise if it is dominant, the genotype is called as homozygous dominant. On the other side, heterozygous genotypes carry different alleles.

c.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The number of generations of random mating to reach the population at the equilibrium, for the populations which are not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Introduction: If any population is not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, it shows that one of the laws of Hardy-Weinberg has been violated. Deviation from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, correspond to other factors of evolution.

Q8. A researcher wants to study the effectiveness of a pill intended to reduce stomach heartburn in pregnant women. The researcher chooses randomly 400 women to participate in this experiment for 9 months of their pregnancy period. They all need to have the same diet. The researcher designs two groups of 200 participants: One group take the real medication intended to reduce heartburn, while the other group take placebo medication. In this study what are: Independent variable: Dependent variable: Control variable: Experimental group: " Control group: If the participants do not know who is consuming the real pills and who is consuming the sugar pills. This study is It happens that 40% of the participants do not find the treatment helpful and drop out after 6 months. The researcher throws out the data from subjects that drop out. What type of bias is there in this study? If the company who makes the medication funds this research, what type of bias might exist in this research work?
